Connect PIC Cables to the PTX3000

The PTX3000 supports PICs and IPLCs that use various kinds of network cable, including multimode and
single-mode fiber-optic cable. For information about the type of cable used by each PIC, see the PTX Series
Interface Module Reference.
You connect the IPLCs to compatible PICs/MICs (see PTX Series IPLC Compatibility), or to other IPLCs, or
to the optical inline amplifier (ILA).
You connect PICs to the network by plugging in network cable. To connect cable to compatible PICs or
